To all wlwm it may' concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM L. WEST, residing at Franklin, in the countyof Venango and State 0f Pennsylvania, a citizen of the UnitedStates,'have invented or 'discovered certain new anduseful Improvementsin Manifold-Paper, ofA which improvementsthe following is aspecification.-

It iscustomary in 'makingup pads or `books for sale-slips to placebetween theA printed forms manifold paper order that Aduplicate ortriplicate copiesinay bev made at the same time. These manifold sheetshave to be removed after one record has been made and placed betweenother printed forms for anpth'er record and 'its copy or copies. papersis so objectionable that in sorne/ cases the manifold lpaper 'isAthrown/away after one use The objections to this method have been met toa small extent by applying the carbon to the backs of alternate printedforms,but in' this case only theoriginaland one copy can be made. Y

The object' of the invention described bon so applied that thenan1es,.\vords, lines,

characters. etc., are in intaglio and appearwhite and-theieinainingsurfaceis covered with the carbon. `The invention ishereinafter ,morefully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing forming a part of thisspecification-is.shown an original record sheet, and y'two copies, oneof which is the manifold. Y

sheets l onrwhicli will be Amade the original record are printed in theusual manner, with 'the desired words, lines, 'characters, etc.

wordsflines, etc., with the copying ink. A. suitable ink consists ofbeeswax, transparent 1 soap, a coloring material, ground with the Thishandling of the manifold.

.beeswax and treated with car (i di-s'ulfid,

and'olive-oil. 'When/ riting on sheet l.;

while it on sheet theink in the latter being soft and ad sive willadhere along the lines ofpress re, to the back' of sheetf v1 so Athatwhen th *latter is removedtheV ink will be partia y removed from sheet2'as to make the ritten wordsplainly legible on such sli t.. I

A plainsheet 3 or one similar to sheet' 1 may tie/placed betweensheetsjl yand 2 and when eet 1 is written on the ink on sheet 2 adhereto the back of sheet 3, produc- 'ng the writing in reverse. But if thissheet be soft and thin, the ink Will quickly soak through giving apositive triplicate copy of the record.

I claim herein as my invention :v

l. A lmanifold paper having words, lines,

etc., outlined by Vcarbon or other coloring material, the words, etc.,being in intaglio,

thecarbon or othermaterial being capable.

of being transferred by pressure to a superimposed surface.

2. A blank for duplicate records having Words,lnes,' etc., formed byAcovering the .surface of the blank with a transfer ink eX- cept theportions of the surface corresponding' to such words, lines,'etc., thetransfer vr'ink being capablepf being transferred 'by pressure toasuperimposed surface.

3. A manifolding sheet having w'ords, etc.,
